filly satisfied with their situation." The poor have been reduced in a year from 619 to 437. In Favers ham Union the saving is nearly 52 per cent. Mr. Nearue, the Chairman, states " the labourers arc gent • rally in employment ; I may say more so than has been the case for many years past ; the 'lnv law has evi dently wrought a great moral improvement in their .Condition." In the Milton Union the saving is rather more than 521 per cent. ; the number of poor reduced from 1,600 to 990. Mr. Hinde, the Vice-Chairman, states that the Poor Law Amendment Act has decidedly jmpraved the habits of the poor. In the Blean Union th e number of poor has been reduced from 972 to 775. The saving is 48i per cent. Mr. Ryder states that " the 131;.' has done wonders by its promotion of in dustry." the Thanet Union the saving is 55 per cent. The number of paupers has been reduced from 564 to 294. IVII - 1 Crampe says, that " the effects a the new systeio are daily developing them selves, and will soon appear in an improved charac ter." In the East Ashford Union there has been a saving of 421. 12s. sd. per cent., the diminution of pauperism OSA- per cent. In the West Ashford Union the saving has been 44- per cent. Mr. Hughes says, " Proofs are not wanting here or else where sufficient to convince the iicpartial mind alai' the industrious classes are more exertive, more vigilant in s eeking employ; less frequently in beer-houses, or dissolutely wasting their time and their money." In the Eastry Union the saving is 51 1 4 - per cent. Mr. alnnam states that in this extensive union (of 23,868 inhabitants) " the prejudice and ill feeling which was so s tfongly manifested against the enactments of the new Pcor-law has astonishingly subsided ; the working classes t i iiernselves, knowing it to be the law of the land do not now protest against it, and that it has worked a great:' chancre for the better is universally ac knowledged." the River Union the saving is 11 per cont. In the E'ham Union the number of paupers has been reduced how 897 to 395 ; the saving 51 per cent. Mr. Jones states, " the labourers are all em ployed; and Cit.'e new law is restoring economy and im proving morality." In the Bridge Union the poor are reduced from 1,906 to 812 ; the saving 224- per cent. As there has been inn,misrepresentation with respect ' to the diet of the pauper. 1s Mr. Hughes communicates the result of a month's expciriment on himself : Having rather publicly expressed myself strongly op posed to much of the machinery of the measure, as well as - imagined the dietary fixed on for th,:' several union houses of East Kent would be inadequate to ILhe necessities of na ture, I resolved to make, at least for one iztonth, a trial in my own person of the validity of such an opinion. " This trial terminated yesterday ; and, as I feel inge nuousness to be a necessary ingredient in the human cha racter, and one which I hope to exhibit through life, I have considered but fair to state, for your information, and that of the public of East Kent, that my apprehensious, which were by no mews peculiar to myself, were, as to the quantity of fond, quite gyoundless, the supply for me (pos sessing a good appetite), Leing more than sufficient—in deed, I did not require, and consequently consume, more than five-sevenths of the quantity - ! and I fully believe, for the month, I ate less than that proportion ! I should have stoted earlier, not for your information',. Sir Francis, but for those who are at least equally interested with you and me, that for four days in the week twenty-two ounces of food is the intended allowance to male paupers, and . for the three remaining days one pound of meat, or puddings, and vege tables, with fourteen ounces of bread and cheese e ,lch day. " I may here state that I have rigidly refrained frC.rn the use of wine, and other fermented liquors, saving the /u.z.:'irY of small beer, and this is, I believe, the only inroad maa, l on the letter of the whole regulations. An intimate friend also a guardian, has made common cause with me, and joined in the trial. His declaration is, that the quantity is sufficient for him, indeed considerably more than he re quires. 'We arc gratified to find this result ! Perhaps we are the only two individuals in our grade of society who have really made a practical experiment on this head, in the eastern division of our county ; and I may truly add that our health has been adequate to that of any former period. —Morning Chronicle. Our letters fron3 Lisbon, received in the course of yesterday, shed no - . riore satisfactory light on the cha racter of the late revolution in that capital, although they appear to have lx-en written in an apologetic spirit. It would appear that the Queen was at one time disposed to seek refuge on board a British man of-war, but that M. Sada Bondeira, whether wisely or otherwise we do not pronounce, dissuaded her Ma jesty from resorting to that measure as dangerous to her Crown. It is repeated by our correspondent, that the new Portuguese Ministers have resolved to answer incurred by all the pecuniary obligations of the .State by former Governments, and that the sale Ofecclesias tical property is looked to as their chief available re source. The Spanish news transmitted thron,sh this channel appears to be more important than that affecting Portugal more immediately. By aocoin:ts from Cadiz, of the 28th of September, Gomez— the annihilated Gomez—is said to have overrun Estremadura and Andalusia—not meeting with the least resistance—and to have approached within a few leagues of Cadiz, at the head of twelve batta lions, throwing that city and Seville into the deepest dismay. It is further added, that although what in significant force was to be had at either of the above places had assembled to march against the Carlist in vader, there was nothing capable of offering him effec tual opposition. If this be true, what a picture does it present of the desperate condition which the Chris tine Government is reduced to, and what a reproach to the falsehoods propagated by its partisans as to the military successes of the officers in command of its troops ! The parties who brought about the Portuguese revolution having extorted from the Queen a decree for suppressing the Chamber of Peers, no less a substan tive branch of the Constitution of Portugal than our House of Lords is of the British Constitution, the Peers, with the Duke of Palmella at their head, have signed and published an energetic protest against so lawless and outrageous a proceeding. The Peers assert broadly and manfully what had been long since repre sented in the Times, concerning the revolutions both of Spain and Portugal, that the form of an existing Government cannot he legitimately overthrown by any sudden violence of a licentious soldiery. " The con stitutional charter of this Monarchy, granted by the august father of your Majesty," say the Peers, " sworn to by the several orders of the State, and by your Ma jesty, and repeatedly defended by the Portuguese army, cannot be revoked or annihil a t e d i n a momen t o f hal lucination by a fraction of that army ;" when, besides, the said army, according to the very Constitution proclaimed by i t (namely, the Constitution of 1820), and according to the law of all civilized nations, " never be assembled to deliberate and carry resolutions." The morality, and consequent legitimacy, of the pre sent Portuguese revolution, seem to be pretty well disposed of by the above passages from the official protest of the Peers, and so in all likelihood will its acceptance with the nation be vitally affected by the same simple but stern exposure.—Times. In the desperate circumstances in which the Tories Pave of late been placed, they had been some wee k s consoling themselves—or rather trying to console them selves—with the forlorn hope that Lord B roug h am would, on his return to public life, throw hi mse lf i nto their arms, and identify himself with their interests. The ground they had for such a hope, uo one could perceive but themselves. For our own parts we would never have thought of undeceiving them. e should have suffered them to lay the flattering unction to their souls till the very latest moment, and wished them, be sides, inzich joy of the delusion. His Lordship, how ever, has ;:iinself accidentally dissipated all their fond expectations. His answer to the address presented to him the other cipy by the Edinburgh deputation, not only admonishes theia in the plainest terms, that he is not only not to be with them, but that his attachment to the cause of Reform is, in the most liberal accep tation of the term, more decided, were that possible, than ever. So long as the Tory delusion lasted, that Lord Brougham was to re-appear in public life as a Conservative—Lord Brougham a Conservative !—so long as this delusion, fit only to be entertained by the inmates of certain institutions we will not name—lasted, so long did the Tory journals express the most immo derate exultation at his restoration to health. We are mot so uncharitable as to suppose that even the Con sei-vatives themselves, bad as we think of them in their I,lr *iit t l , tal capacity, regret abstractedly considered, that -- , ,---_--bi . , ..rdship has recovered from his late indisposition. t_ 4-. . i 'v the fact of that recovery being coupled with r...\ „ 4. , iii . ; ,rarance in the first ranks of the Reformers, - - --. :i, 'that; , make them uneasy. We promise them that . e' '4 .7 7 • prehenowns of what he is likely to do next ..vv 3 Session will be proved by the event to be well-founded, to an extent which will fill them with utter astonish ment and dismay. Lord Brougham responds to the sentiments expressed in the Address respecting the de sirableness of union among Reformers. He says—" In the reference which you apparently make to the necessity of mutual forbearance among Reformers, when they happen to differ, I entirely agree." This will be gallan - d wormwood to the Tories. All their hopes now centre in disagreements among the Reformers. These hopes , like all - the others they have ever entertained, are swept away from under them by the sentence we have quoted. The Tories could almost have reconciled themselves to the re-appearance of Lord Brougham in public life, had there been even a hope left them that he would sow the seeds of disunion among the Reformers when he resumes his place in the House of Lords. What, then, must be their mortification and despair when his Lordship so emphatically declares his conviction of the desirableness of union among the friends of the people ! But the union which the Edinburgh Re formers recommend, and in which the great champion of Reform so candidly concurs, will not he effected by any unworthy compromise of principle on the part of the various classes of Reformers. It will have its basis on the most honourable grounds. It will have its i i ,:juidation in the temporary sacrifices of all minor dif fereneeZ. of opinion, and in a vigorous determination to join togetor in one grand effort to secure the tri umph of general pis:Dciples, the momentous importance of which is felt and admiti.:'d by all.-111oriz.Advertiser. However great may be its aggregate wealth, how ever' prosperous its general condition, any state wherein a considerable portion of the population are perma nently dependent for support on legal or voluntary cha rity, must necessarily have some unsound principle at work in its constitution. "Wherever there exists an eleemosynary class of society, the greater the national prosperity, the greater the evidence of faulty institu tions. In a healthy state the general wealth will cir culate through and invigorate the whole social body in its remotest members—giving them life, and strength, and tone—nourishing their development, and perfecting the general structure ; but whenever this free circula tion is impeded, society becomes disorganized—one part suffers from repletion, the other from inanition, and the whole becomes deficient in health, harmony, and propor tion. In no country was this condition more lamentably illustrated than in England previously to the passing of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and notwithstanding the beneficial, though in some instances severe, opera tion of that Act, unfortunately but too much evidence yet remains of the disease of our social and political system. Exclusion and monopoly have been the bane of Great Britain. Her whole system is pervaded by these unjust and pernicious principles ; and as vice seldom escapes retribution, whatever is evil in the State may be considered as the consequence of its own folly and wickedness. We have national exclu sion, political exclusion, social exclusion, commercial exclusion—another name for monopoly. Ireland is excluded from a participation in the laws and rights enjoyed by England; a large portion of the popula tion of England herself is excluded from the elective franchise, the first right of a freeman ; the younger chil dren of the magnates of the land are excluded from their natural patrimony ; exclusion is the basis of England's commercial policy. Thus a large portion of society are ejected from their rightful position in the State, left a prey to fortune, and poverty a nd crime are the inevitable consequences. In En ;land pauperism is the sore on the surface which i n di cat es the malady within. In Ireland it is the leprosy of the land. Exclusion, like a ligature on a member of the body, cuts off the circulation, and while the centre becomes gorged and plethoric, the ex tremities mortify from want of due sustenance. Thus may be explained the vast wealth accumulated by one class of individuals in England, and the pauperism of another ; and hence first originated the necessity of poor laws, which in a country with just and sound po litical institutions, are indefensible on any principle either human or divine. Poor laws are, to pursue our simile, a vain attempt to restore, by extraneous means, health to the member cut off by the ligature, whereas ' the removal of the ligature itself is the only remedy. It is this which would at once let the life blood flow equally through the whole system, and vivify its se veral parts. Any remedy is, however, better than the loss of the member, and therefore poor laws are better than starvation—but as the alternative is one to which no people would submit with the means of existence around them, we consider a legal provision for the poor to have originated as much from the fears as from the benevolence of the ruling powers. Parochial relief is the pittance flung to a defrauded people to nake them subservient to their wrongs, and by the,:" degradation remove their desire of redress. It is the t jatuity given by the highwayman to the tra veller whop he has plundered to save him from pe rishing by the way-side, with this difference, that the relief of the pooc comes, for the rnost part, from the pockets of the defrauded classes themselves. .And just as we should encourage the act of paltry restitutio:.l in the robber, rather than leave the victim utterly desti tute, so would we advocate poor laws, but under pro test against their being considered a permanent com promise of the wrongs which originated their necessity. With this restriction, since a refractory branch of the Legislature denies justice to Ireland, we say—while that branch is being brought to reason, and its usurpa tion superseded—" Give Ireland a poor law—the peo ple must not be left to starve." But rather than the Irish people should be left permanently dependent on a poor law—rather than such a law should be accepted as au equivalent for their claims, and an atonement for their multitudinous wrongs—rather than see them take a lease of their bondage by a degrading acquiescence, involving the sacrifice of all feelings of independence— all the dignity of man—and leave posterity only the inheritance of their degradation—we would much pre fer leaving them to Providence and their own resources. It has been alleged, that without poor laws there can be no efficient system of police, and no security to pro perty, and the greater order of those countries where there is a legal provision for the poor, compared with those where there is not, is appealed to in support of the assertion. But in such cases the order which pre vails is the order of despotism, similar to that which prevailed in Warsaw when the people were prostrated by tyranny. Order is frequently an evil. There may he order amongst slaves, but who would not prefer a struggle for independence to the disgraceful and de czar ding tranquillity of consenting slavery ? The best systen; of police is that wherein the stake in society possessed by the mass of the people secures their co operation in the suppression of tho se o utrages which, in the best order,' d countries, may be committed by isolated individuals. A legal provision for the poor generates habits of indoLence, carelessness, and sloth— it destroys the aspirations of independence, and leaves man content with an animal existence, forgetful of the higher faculties of his nature. The utmost filth, penury, and destitution of an Irish cabin, where thC inmate is stimulated by suffering to exert his mental and physical faculties to procure means of existence and improve his condition, is less injurious to the moral attributes of man than the most perfect supply of animal necessities in the English workhouse, where the inmate contents himself with the provender of his stall. The severity of the workhouse system in England is complained of, but the greatest curse that could b e i n fli cte d on t h e coun t ry wou ld be that of making of charity, her poor contented while accepting the pittance whether legal or voluntary. Do justice to Ireland, and a poor law will be unnecessary. , Do jus tice to England —purge her legislative system from the absurd and i iniquitous irresponsible hereditary principle —abolish prmogenitur e and the Corn Laws—un- j shackle her commerce—and give to each adult citizen a voice in the selecti on o f a l eg i s l at i ve represen t a ti ve , and the poor lac.' will become obsolete. These views, as our readers are aware; are not new with us ; they have again and again appeared in the columns of this journal, and whatever may be tii3 result of our publi cation of them, we are prepared to sta;:fl by them, as well as to give a reason for the " faith that is us." At the same time, we owe it to Mr. Leslie to state, that the facts and reasonings in his able pamphl e t, al ready noticed by us on two occasions, has tended greatly to confirm us in opinions, which, previously to its publication, had not met with support in any quar ter, except from Mr. O'Connell, who evidently detests the application of a poor law to Ireland, and if he ultimately join in the general outcry for it, will only do so from compulsion, not from conviction. In conclu sion, and partly in answer to the admirers of the old poor law system, we quote the following passage from the pamphlet alluded to. What an admirable illustra tion it furnishes of the "venerated wisdom," and the still more venerated benevolence of our ancestors ! We are often required to venerate these laws (says Mr. Leslie) because they are said to have been introduced by some of the greatest statesmen this country ever produced ; but, when this claim is made, we must not forget that, amid all their greatness, they have left a melancholy record of their mental degradation in the statute-book ; for, in three years after they had passed the celebrated 43d of Elizabeth, they passed the Ist of James 1., c. 12, an Act against con juration, witchcraft, and dealing with evil spirits.' " It may naturally be supposed that an Act of the im portance of the 43d of Elizabeth would have been most de liberately considered by the Legislature before it was passed into a law ; but this does not appear to have been the case —on the contrary, it was a very hasty piece of legislation. On the 14th of December, 1601, it was twice read in the House of Commons, and ordered to be engrossed. It was read again on the 15th. On the 16th it was introduced into the House of Lords. It was read a second time on the 17th ante nzeridienz; and a third time the same day post nzeridienz; so that it had only twenty-four hours' con sideration by one branch of the Legislature. The 20th section of the 43d of Elizabeth, perhaps, may account for this short consideration ;it enacts that This Act shall en dure no longer than to the end of the next session of Par liament.' There was an important political cause for this hasty legislation during the week—the Parliament was dis solved in two days afterwards, on the 19th of December, 1601. _ _ " If there be anything solid in the arguments I have used as to the effect of a compulsory tax for the relief of the poor on the wages of labour ; then, as a matter of course, the introduction of the system will sooner or later produce the same effect, and a general depreciation of the wages of labor must be the consequence in Ireland. The very reverse course, I have endeavoured to show, is being beneficially taken in England, and the result is that wages are rising. " Ireland, at the present moment, is by many considered to be in the same state as England was about the period of the 43d of Elizabeth. I have shewn that a fall in the wages of labour was a consequence of the poor law sys tem ; and by this train of argument, I conclude that tke poor law system, if introduced into Ireland, would exert a most prejudicial effect upon the industrious classes of Eng land. But, on the other hand, the improvement in the condition of the industrious classes in England, if not in terfered with by legislative enactments, will rapidly extend itself to Ireland. " Many persons argue that the market of labour is much depreciated in this country by the emigration of Irishmen, and the obvious remedy to which, in their opinion, is a system of poor laws for Ireland, whereby the land shall be taxed to support its inhabitants. This process, to be of benefit to the industrious classes of England, must be accompanied by an Act of Parliament to compel Irishmen to remain at home, where wages are falling by the intro duction of poor laws ; where, in the sister country, wages are rising in consequence of the poor being emancipated from the operation of these laws. " It would be absurd in a discussion of so much import ance, however unworthily I may treat it, not to admit to the fullest extent the wretchedness and misery which abound in Ireland. Painful as it must be to contemplate a people under their present circumstances, it is only a thorough knowledge of the existing evils that can by possibility lead to a cure. That cure, to be effectual, depends upon the soundness of the principle upon which the remedial process is commenced and proceeded with."—Morning Advertiser. The advocates of the new Poor Law are everywhere instructed to put forth the vast savings brought about by it as an overwhelming reason and defence for its adoption. To such persons, no doubt, the end, under any circumstances, is sufficient to justify the means ; especially if that end consists in putting money into the pockets of those who carefully adopt the Horatian maxim of " quocunque modo rem." For ourselves we believe that if the whole account were fairly stated, little or no reduction has been brought about by the operation of the new poor law ; but that the whole re duction which has taken place may be accounted for by the low price of provisions, and the increased de mand for labour which has everywhere taken place ; while, if the expence of the new law, of the staff at Somerset House, and in every Union—and the cost of building new workhouses, where no work is to be provided, were fairly taken into the account, instead of being studiously kept out of sight, an increase, and not a diminution of expense, as far as the new law is con cerned, would be found to be, up to this time, its re sult. That a reduction in the poor rates, as well as a reform in many other abuses under the old law, were called for, we have never denied, but have ourselves advocated, long before the present Malthusian project was set on foot. But, as in the case of other reforms, we do not consider it necessary either to destroy exist ing institutions, or to outrage humanity or public feel ing in so doing. It is not the disease which we deny the existence of, but we quarrel with the remedy, which, as far as it has hitherto proceeded, has done more to unhinge society, and to dissatisfy a large and important class of society—the labouring population-- than all which the efforts of the Radicals have hitherto been able to accomplish. It acts like the surgeon, who recklessly amputated the limb, which a little care would heal and ultimately preserve. Let us hear no more then of those boasted savings, which, in fact, have no ex i s :fnce, and which, if they existed, would have been obtained :!t a price which none but the extreme of cold-blooded se:sli heartlessness could rejoice at or defend. No misrepre3tntation, no sordid feeling, can reconcile the country to the obvious errors (to call its defects by no lighter name) of this new system. Its injustice, its inhumanity, must be remedied ; and that without in the smallest degree lessening the certainty of the real evils of the old poor law being effectually and permanently redressed.—Morning Herald. In alluding very lately to the remarkable silence of Lord Brougham on public affairs, we expressed our honest regret that ill-health should have imposed such a restraint on his Lordship. We are still actuated by the same feeling. But recent circumstances induce us to think that we must not altogether attribute to the absence of physical power the withdrawal of the Noble Lord from the turmoil of politics. We cannot but suspect that reflection—for which his illness has allowed him but too much time—or age, in the exer cise of its sedative quality, has superinduced a certain degree of discretion on the brilliant eccentricities of Lord Brougham. His answer, which we published yesterday, to an address from certain politicians in Edinburgh, inviting him to a public dinner in that city, affords presumptive evidence that we are not wrong in our conjecture. Judging from that answer, one should have thought that the address was as vague and general in the treatment of political subjects as the reply of the Noble Lord. But that it was not so, will appear by the following extract from it, which the Edinburgh Evening Post enables us—albeit rather in an inverse order of historical relation—to lay before our readers : " Your Lordship may differ with us upon certain points, as we (amicably) differ among ourselves but while we agree in so many important measures, and especially in every one of those fundamental principles of political and social ame lioration which we believe Lord Brougham to have quite as In cr.h at heart as any statesman whatever, we are persuaded that no vial consideration will intervene to disappoint our hopes of your lordship accepting the invitation we have the honour to semi to you ; and that you will not hold aloof from Reformers who justly and warmly appreciate your long and eminent serviet. to the common cause. We are prepared to welcome you upon that high and open ground where all lovers of freedom and of their country may frankly meet. We disclaim every mere party interest and factious motive ; but, looking to the threatening aspect of public affairs, we feel that it is high time the nation were , bestirring itself. We all alike demand justice to the Dis senters, justice to Ireland, and the speedy removal of those ascertained impediments which check the free working of the Reform Bill. We alike desire law reform and short Par liaments; but, more than all, we earnestly demand the immediate adoption of such measures as may remove the present obstacles to good government and to sound and liberal legislation." Now here, assuredly, was no lack of topics on which, if brought under his notice in former days, Lord Brougham would have discoursed most fluently, through all the hours that were inscribed upon Shrews bui'v clock. But now, not a word—not a syllable— in the way of:Tinion to the Whig apothecary, the Whig commission-agent, tim bookseller ,: or , the Radical shopkeeper, of whom, as w e learn our Edinburgh Contemporary, the Reform deputation consisted. If illness unfortunately prevented the atten dance of the Noble and Learned Lord in his place in Parliament during the past Session—if the fear of a relapse prevented him from appearing in such a bear garden as the celebrated dinner to Lord Grey showed an Edinburgh " Reform" dinner to be—there was no such excuse for silence here. The illness is past away. A relapse could hardly have been produced by quietly writing on a sheet of foolscap a brief notice of the questions mooted by the Liberals of Edinburgh. To what then are we to attribute the new taciturnity of the Noble Lord? To what must we ascribe the abstinence from all that fidgetty bustling with which in time past he was wont, in compliment to Scottish Reformers, to stick burgess-tickets in his hat, and pro mise to write to Windsor by that night's post ? Simply, as it seems to us, to a discretion that did not formerly belong to him, to the fact that Lord Brougham is now " Grown wiser than of yore ;" that lie has at length discovered the causes of that po litical shipwreck, which must have been as unaccount able to himself as it was to many besides. A vessel, we suspect, lie has now found out may go down by merely carrying more sail than ballast. It was the " top-hamper," as the sailors call it, that did the mis chief. It would really appear as if Lord Brougham had seen his error—as if he had lowered his " sky scrapers ;" or, in other words, as if he were now con vinced that his abilities will have more weight if he gravely and deliberately exercised them in his place as a Peer of Parliament, than they had when, with mor bid vanity, he used them for the childish purpose of dazzling the weak optics of busybodies and dema gogues. We confess we shall rejoice if our anticipa tion should prove a correct one. But it will much sur prise us, if certain quondam colleagues of the Noble Lord should, in even the smallest degree, participate in our satisfaction.—Morning Post. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

AQUATICS. _ 7 _ GRAND ROWING MATCII.--Dunng the last two months the celebrated Hunt has been engaged in laying down a very handsome wherry, intended as a present by the extensive firm of Messrs. James and Charles Goding, ale brewers, to comme morate the opening of their magnificent brewery, situated on the banks of the Thames, in the Belvidere-road. It is one of the most superior things of. the sort we ever saw given in a wager, and with its gear is worth at least 401. The specific day for the match is not yet named, but at a meeting of the watermen on Monday evening, at the Watermen's Arms, Bel videre-road, so many as 200 scullers were in attendance to draw lots ; Charles Campbell, Phelps, Watts, Noulton, Parish, and all the first-rate men of the day, were amongst the number. At half-past eleven at night the following were de clared entitled to row :—John Moore and John Herd, Samuel Snell and Benjamin Little, J. Banks and James Cobb, John Harris and William Kepping, Richard Croucher and William Campbell, John Ketching and John Bancroft, Joseph Church and James Dodd, William Potter and William Rolls, W. Dyson and Thomas Watts, George Newel and Edward Ewel, Dan. Bazant and John Bethel, and W. Brayliton and George Everett. It will be with twenty-four pairs of sculls, two pairs in each boat. It is expected to take place within a fortnight. A most melancholy accident happened at Tredegar Works, on the evening of the 28th ult. A young lad, about ten years of age, son of John Morgan, a pudler in the said Works, by some unaccountable misfortune, got entangled in the rolls spindles, and before the velocity of the machinery could be retarded, the poor fellow was crushed to chath, which, of course, must have taken place instantaneously. To describe the dreadful state of mutilation the sufferer was in • p.! would sicken the when taken up f rom nts 111 6 11toitax heart—Cambrian. The female porcupine, at the gardens, has been de li►ered of twins—the mother and children as well as can be expected. It is rare for porcupines to breed in this country.— Bristol Mercury.
